where they have not dominated, but have still come through the test.

“They have not sneaked into a semi-final.

“It has taken them four or five games to get here and that is not luck. You can’t sneak through.

“They have a tough mentality, while we have had to do it a different way.

“But how we did it and how they did it, don’t worry about that, because this game will be completely different for them and us.”

Both sides are without key players through suspension thanks to second yellow cards of the tournament collected at the last-eight stage.

Ben Davies and Aaron Ramsey are missing for Wales, while Portugal midfielder William Carvalho is also banned.

“They are t wo outstandin­g players,” Coleman said of the loss of defender Davies and midfielder Ramsey, who has been one of the players of the tournament.

“But it’s not as if we haven’t been without them before and I have no worries about whoever steps in.

“I don’t worry about these players because they know the drill, what’s expected of them, and the game plan won’t change.”

Meanwhile, Chris Coleman has dismissed suggestion­s that he could become the next England manager.

“It’s not something I think I would get offered but I would never rule it in to be honest,” said Coleman.
